Dr. Daniels is the only dentist I’ve ever known and he was gracious enough to let me roam around his office after hours collecting these sounds.

The intent was to gather source material for hi-tech gadgetry so the library contains a nice selection of tools and equipment including drills, a mouth vacuum, an ultrasonic water sprayer, dental lathe, dental kiln, a creepy sounding dentist chair and a wicked cool CEREC machine (diamond tipped milling machine that cuts dental implants).

The handheld tools are “performed” so as to create movement, pass by’s and simulate power fluctuations.

This auditory omnibus includes all 30 of our individually released SFX libraries. Encompassing a tremendously diverse amount of content, topics, unique sources, designs, recording techniques, and channel formats, our complete collection provides you with over 2.25 days of professional audio assets.

The Fun Box is the perfect toolkit for your cartoon series or games, it contains only the essentials sounds that you need, not tons of sounds that you’ll never use only the most important.

For a new show I was working on, I started to check the cartoon sound effects libraries in order to improve my workflow, but I didn’t find any new banks I wasn’t already using. So I thought, why shouldn’t I make my own my sound library, I was so bored to use and hear the same sounds over and over.

So I gathered a bunch of tools, objects, and toys and I’ve started to record, and after a while here you go (After hours and hours of cleaning and editing of course…)

With THE GLITCH 2 sound library Sound Response brings you the second installment of totally twisted, mangled, glitchy, twitchy sonic madness!

They’re also very useful as a sound design tool for video games, movies, trailers, and other cinematic projects, where you can either use them as they are, or you can unlock their full potential by combining and layering them for creation of all sorts of futuristic sci-fi and hi-tech sounds, mechanisms, robot sound effects, and other sci-fi sound effects!

The package includes Pro Tools and Reaper mixing sessions, and embedded metadata in every clip.

In Science Fiction, hangar bays are cavernous mechanized spaces housing spacecraft ready for interstellar travel. These futuristic hangars usually have flight crews preparing those craft with last minute repairs and fuel as environmental force fields repel the cold vacuum of space just outside…
The Hangar Bay sound-set contains three long playing audio-scenes and twenty-four isolated audio-stems to give you ultimate creative control over our sounds!

The three audio-scenes are like field recordings from the future -like we travelled forward in time and recorded a hangar bay in real time and then sent those sounds back to the now! The three scenes include a high alert scenario with busy activity and a star fighter launch and landing sequence! There is a night shift scene which is calm and relaxed and finally, a scene that puts you down on the flight deck floor in the middle of all the frantic action!

This bundle gives you a large collection of high quality sounds from clunky mechanical antique cash registers from the early 1900s as well as an electric metal cash register from the 1970. Powerful source material for designing all sorts of mechanical machinery, user interface, creatures – or simply cash registers.
Bonus: The bundle comes with two Kontakt instruments (requires full version of Kontakt 6) with several round robins and multiple microphone positions that be used to add mechanical rhythms to your music, or easily sync the sounds to pictures with MIDI notes.

For creating this library we had to track down old cash registers in Denmark. We recorded them all with several high quality microphones from multiple perspectives – even with a lavalier microphone hidden inside the machine for super dry mechanical sounds and contact microphone attached to the back for beefy low end that can be mixed in to make your sounds feel heavier. We even added punchy ready-to-use detailed mixes of all the microphones.

We experimented to explore all the sonic gems hiding in the machines. You’ll find sounds like the classic “money earned sound” from turning the clicking cranks and bell ring as the drawer opens, chunky mechanical sounds from pulling the levers and foley sounds from touching and handling the cash registers.

The library has been tagged with extensive metadata and has been tested in Soundminer, Basehead, Soundly and Pro Sound Effects’ Search to make it easy to find the sounds you are looking for.

The Antique Cash Registers library includes:

– Chunky rolling lever pulls in various durations
– The classic Ka-ching! sound from from turning the crank

We asked Katrine Amsler (Wolfenstein 2, Control) to play around with the library, and she came up with this beautiful haunting piece:

These are no ordinary zombies, they’re not your mindless, shuffling, flesh craving human husks. An evil runs through what remains of these creatures’ bodies. Flesh has all but decayed from their bones and whatever humanity they had in life has long since departed.

Whilst this library caters primarily for the more aggressive variant of the undead, it wouldn’t sound out of place when used on other terrifying abominations.

All assets are delivered in 96kHz, 24-bit stereo files and include full Soundminer metadata.

A collection of vintage toy sounds. From the grating noise of a balloon being rubbed, to the childhood memory evoking sounds of a pogo stick bouncing away, a toy train whirring around, a tin robot stomping along, to deliciously gross slime; these sounds may be just what you need for your game, video, film or animation.

In honor of April Fools’ Day, SkewSound is proud to present “thefool”. This collection of comedic sounds includes party favors, slide whistles, buzzers, and whoopee cushions. We also recorded instrumental effects such as dobro slides, comedy club sax riffs, timpani glissandos, trombone slides, and even more cowbell. Vocal virtuoso, Chris Rando, contributed tons of laughter, mouth effects, and even vomit and fart noises. Who doesn’t love a little potty humor?

Farts are our bodies’ way of punctuating important moments. Everyone knows this and agrees on it. It’s basically accepted scientific fact.

And now, after decades of research and a couple days of intensely private foley work, George brings you 216 separate files of completely original yet hauntingly familiar fart sounds that will add ripe, satisfying definition to your every soundscape.

What others are saying:

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
